RESTLESS RIVER Ava Marie Chardonnay 2018
Selective pickings of chardonnay single-vineyard, natural ferment/maturation in oak,
5% amphora sur lie, stainless steel, deliver usual riveting tension, ripe lime, spice complexity in 2018. Increased texture, fine-grained density yield to breathtaking flinty, limy persistence.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (97/100)
"It's not the winemaker," says Craig Wessels, "I've just got great sites." His vineyards are certainly first class, but I think the man is being too modest here. Consistently one of the New World's best Chardonnays, this is complex, balanced and judiciously wooded with 10% amphorae-fermented juice adding some va-va-voom. Drink 2019-27.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 96/100
'Matured for 11 months, 90% in French oak (of which 7% was new) and 10% in clay amphorae. A shy nose with hints of lemon and oatmeal while the palate is lean, fresh and pithy. Currently extraordinarily tightly wound to the point of severe – no fat, all persistence.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100
